Aggreko provides power and temperature
control solutions to customers who need them either very quickly,
or for a short length of time. Examples would be the supply of
power to an industrial site which needs to service its permanent
power supply, supplying a whole city in times of power shortage, or
providing a major sporting event with power and cooling systems. We
serve our customers either through 120 service centres, which we
call the Local Business, or globally through our International
Power Projects business. In the Local business, which accounts for
about half our revenues, we hire our equipment to customers, who
then operate it for themselves, although we retain responsibility
for servicing and maintaining it. In the International Power
Projects business, which also accounts for about half of our
revenues, we operate as a power producer. We install and operate
power plants and we charge our customers both for providing the
generating capacity, and for the electricity we produce. We design
and manufacture equipment specifically for these requirements in
our factory in Dumbarton,Scotland.
Recent customers include the Beijing
2008 Olympics, the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, World Cup in
South Africa and the power utilities in over 50 countries
including the UK, France, Angola,
Kenya, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and the
USA.
